Question

Jamie had the following problem on her math test:

The product of 4 and a number is 12 more than 92. What is the number?

When Jamie solved the problem, she wrote the following:

4n + 12 = 92

4n + 12 - 12 = 92 - 12

4n = 80

4n/4 = 80/4

n = 20

Then number is 20.

A. Jamie's solution is not correct. Using complete sentences, explain what Jamie did wrong. (5 points)

B. Write the correct algebraic equation for the problem that Jamie was to solve. (5 points)

C. Solve the equation to find the number. Remember to use algebraic transformations. (5 points)
